great but... please add instant updating of calculation when you change data. and auto populate the old value when you want to change a new input. and save the current value so it's there when you re-start the app. but great app, thanks Karl/cork

keyboard works! The app is so much usable now. The keyboard input rocks

Please fix.. I agree with the person before me. The capability is there for us to input the exact speeds, just need to script it so it recognizes the command... Very annoying having to hold down the up/dwn arrows to get your calculations. Thanks for this app though!

Wind Meter is sound based anemometer to estimate wind speed. It works by analyzing the sound of wind passing the device microphone. Wind Meter includes compass integration, so you can easily find wind direction too.The application includes a wind speed converter.

Wind speed converter is a simple tool to convert between many various windspeed measurement scales. It may find specific use for all Kitesurfers,Windsurfers, Sailors and other fans of wind related activities. iOS andAndroid version will aslo show you your current wind speed based on yourGPS location.

„Windfinder“ is free, with ads. „Windfinder Pro“ is not free, without ads and with Superforecast (hourly time steps, available in Europe, North America and Egypt), with widgets and global wind forecast maps.

>>Quick startThe application relies on the mobile microphone signal. To achieve the best results consider the following:1) Easy calibration (only the first time): Some mobiles are automatically calibrated in the first installation phase. For details see the calibration section of the user manual2) avoid measurement in presence of loud noises (heavy traffic,motorbikes, trucks, loud talking,shots)3) keep your fingers away from the mobile microphone (hold it by the top) and keep it in vertical position4) orient the back of the phone in the direction of the wind (keeping the display in front of you)5) click on one of the function buttons

>>Troubleshooting1) Wrong calibration: You must set the Noise level: see the User's Guide calibration section.2) Attenuation on mobile mic: your measurements never reach the thereshold blue line. Restart android.3) The application is sensible to low level talking (at a distance > 50 cm from the mic): go in the settings menu and disable ACG (check on). 4) No signals detected below 1 m/s or over 20 m/s: the smart phone microphones do not work under/over a specific pressure.

The WeatherFlow Wind Meter is an anemometer that fits in your pocket. Use this app, along with the WeatherFlow Wind Meter hardware (http://www.weatherflow.com/windmeter/), to take & share wind reports anywhere.

The WeatherFlow Wind Meter* will work with any Android device that provides enough power through the audio jack. That includes most newer Android devices, and it is known to work with the following Android devices: Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC Evo 4G, HTC Evo 4G LTE, and Motorola Xoom.

>>Quick startThe application relies on the mobile microphone signal. To achieve the best results consider the following:1) fast calibration (only the first time): see the calibration section of the user manual2) avoid measurement in presence of loud noises (heavy traffic,motorbikes, trucks, loud talking,shots)3) check that there are no wind shields on your mic (such as fingers, covers or labels)4) orient the back of the phone in the direction of the wind (keeping the display in front of you)5) click the wind meter button

>>Troubleshooting1) Wrong calibration: You must set the Noise level: see the User's Guide calibration section.2) Attenuation on mobile mic: your measurements never reach the thereshold blue line. Restart android3) No signals detected below 1 m/s or over 20 m/s: The smart phone microphones do not work under/over a specific pressure. Due to the maximun SPL level supported by the mic, the maximum speed detectable by the smartphone is lower than 20 m/s ( usually it is about 15 m/s)

NOTE on 0.3.2: Sony device owners, please note that due to Sony's special hardware configuration, the Sleipnir Vaavud device will not work with your phone, and inserting the Sleipnir wind meter may cause the app to crash

The app requires the Vaavud wind meter for smartphones, which can be bought on Vaavud.com. The Vaavud wind meter is a patent pending, electronicless cup anemometer, which utilizes the sensors in your phone, and an advanced set of algorithms to measure the exact wind speed.

METEO CONSULT, the largest independent supplier of weather forecasts and shipping forecast specialist, manages the entire forecasting process thanks to a team of top level scientists, experienced computer scientists and cutting edge equipment.

METEO CONSULT is now making available its expertise in Marine weather forecasting through its new METEO CONSULT Marine Android Phone application.

Completely free, it enables you to view:• the 10-day coastal forecast for France and Europe with the navigable coastal areamap, information on the wind, swell, temperatures and cloud cover• the areas surrounding ports, surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing spots,lakes.

It also displays:• semaphore observations• warnings and special notices• coastal warnings by notification and gale warnings• videos: the situation at sea, for the different sailing areas• satellite images and precipitation radars

Anemometer is an application, that measures wind velocityby analyzing spectrum of sound, created by the air flow around your Android device. It is a wind speed meter in your pocket.The app is useful for people, doing outdoor activities depending on the wind,such as paragliding, kite surfing or sailing.This wind speed meter uses quite sophisticated algorithm to extract wind speed range from zero up to about 15m/s, dependingon the device. This algorithm allows to filter out most of sounds, so that human voice, ornoise of trees on the wind do not affect measurement accuracy.Before starting to use anemometer please set zero wind level: hold your device in silent no-wind conditionsand press "Set zero" item in menu. The value will be stored in persistent memory, so you don't need todo it often. However, if you feel that zero level is wrong for some reason - just re-do it.

New method of anemometer calibration is added:put phone side by side with the reference anemometer instrument to a constant air flow, click on Menu-Calibration Point and enter wind speed, measuredby reference device. Calibration constant will be re-calculated automatically.

When the anemometer is stopped measured data is saved to file (10 points per second). Directory Anemometer is created when you launch application for the first time.Data files are located in this directory, names start from W and contain date and time of saving.Saving data can be also forced during measurement by swiping the screen.

The linearity and calibration of wind speed meter are ensured for Samsung Galaxy S, other devicesmay show deviations from linear response. Use with caution!

The application is created on the basis of Hermit libraries by MoonBlink (http://code.google.com/p/moonblink/).
